1 tablespoon chopped white onion

1/2 tablespoon Kraft shredded milk cheddar cheese (optional)

Coney Island Sauce

1 pound ground meat/beef

1 6-ounce can tomato paste

1 cup water

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon yellow mustard (prepared)

Steps

Method1

Chili Dog Sauce

1

Get a good-sized saucepan, about 2 quarts or so. Place the ground beef in it and brown it completely. Make sure to crumble it into small pieces as you're cooking it. Season the meat with a little pepper and salt.

2

Without draining the fat/oil from the meat, add the rest of the ingredients for the Coney Island Sauce. Lower the heat to a simmer and leave it uncovered for about 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow the sauce to thicken.

3

Remove from heat and leave mixture to cool. When cooled, cover with a lid or Saran Wrap and store it in the refrigerator until needed.

Method2

Chili Dogs

1

Take another saucepan and fill it with water and heat until boiling. Remove from the heat and place the hot dogs into the heated water. Cover saucepan with a lid and set aside for about 10 minutes.

2

Microwave only the amount of sauce that you're going to use. Refrigerate the remainder.

3

Microwave the hot dog rolls for 10 seconds each.

4

Remove the hot dogs from the water with tongs, or drain the water out and remove.

5

Put a hot dog in each hot dog roll and spread about 3 tablespoons of the sauce onto the hot dog; optional toppings include chopped raw onions and grated cheese.
